Please notify us if you:

• want to cancel this declaration
• change your name or home address
• no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations by the donor.

This means we can claim back from the government on your behalf 25p for every £1 donated, boosting the value of the donation by a quarter.

How does Gift Aid work?

When a UK taxpayer gives a gift of money to a charity, tax has already been paid on that money. Because you are exempt from tax, we can claim this money back from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and thereby increase your donations to the Shul.

Are all donations eligible for Gift Aid?

Donations from non-UK taxpayers are not eligible for Gift Aid.

HMRC regulations also mean that we can’t reclaim Gift Aid on a donation if you told us that:

the donation was on behalf of someone else or a group of people

the donation was on behalf of a company
